Black & Gold Xs & Os: Last Minute Preview Of Saints-Redskins

Sunday in D.C. look for the Saints to take an army-like approach, that is by ground. Mike Bell and Pierre Thomas should both have field days, if the offensive line blocks well and the offense stays on schedule...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Last Minute Preview of Saints-Patriots

Here are some things I will check back on in the morning to see if they happened. If they do, I believe the Saints can win this game. 1. The Patriots like to use a base three-receiver set, but will add even more than that to their formation...

Catch Dat Brees: Warner Bros Depicts Saints Quarterback in Art

In 2008, Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints' quarterback, led the NFL in passing yards by a wide margin. More incredible is that he became only the second player in the league’s storied history to pass for more than 5,000 yards...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: New Orleans Saints Offensive Gameplan Vs. The Rams

As I explained yesterday, there really is no excuse for the Saints defense to give up any points in this game. In much the same way, there is no excuse for the Saints offense to not score on every possession...

Black and Gold Xs and Os: New Orleans Saints Defensive Gameplan vs. Rams

It's seemingly a fair statement to make that the New Orleans Saints should be 9-0 after this weekend's game. I say this mainly because the Saints are still playing good enough football to beat anyone...

Black and Gold Xs and Os: The Saints' Offensive Gameplan vs. the Panthers

This week against the Carolina Panthers' defense, the New Orleans Saints face a formidable challenge. It is the first team they have seen this year that plays a base Cover-2 defense...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: New Orleans Saints' Defensive Gameplan vs. Carolina

After watching the past four games the Carolina Panthers have played, it is very clear their offense is very good at one thing—running the football—and not so good at another—throwing it...

Black & Gold X's & O's: Saints Offensive Gameplan vs. the Falcons

I could've picked any number of offensive players for the Saints this week to represent them on the "gameplan picture." But I picked Thomas. Perhaps it is because I am desperate in fantasy football, as I'm down 31 points headed into Monday night's game...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Defensive Game Plan Vs. The Falcons

When watching film of the Atlanta Falcons offense, a few things stand out to me. They are a very well organized offense from a schematic and personnel perspective. They are also extremely well coached...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Tape Review Of the Saints Comeback Win

Lost in the euphoria of the Saints miraculous comeback Sunday evening was the fact the Saints probably played the worst football not only of their season, but perhaps of any team's season in the first half...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Offensive Gameplan Vs. The Dolphins

I'm calling it now. This will be Reggie Bush's breakout game for the 2009 season. He will get the ball early and often against an aggressive Dolphins defense...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Saints Defensive Preview For The Miami Dolphins

I chose this picture to highlight this article because it is exactly what everyone has come to believe the Miami Dolphins' offense is all about. Their staple is the "Wildcat", or so everyone thinks...

Black & Gold X's & O's: Day-After Coaches-Style Review of Win Over Giants

In my preview columns for the game against the Giants, there were a few areas I thought to be very important in order for the Saints to come out victorious on Sunday. In my estimation, they did all of these very well...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Saints Offensive Gameplan vs. Giants

After watching nearly four full games of the Giants defense, I've come away with a few trends and patterns that Sean Payton—as a playcaller—and Drew Brees can take advantage of in Sunday's mammoth matchup of unbeatens...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Saints Defensive Gameplan Vs. NY Football Giants

If you followed any of the NFL offseason discussions in the spring or summer, you would know that one of the largest questions was who, if anyone, would step up for the Giants at the receiver position? That question has been answered and then some...

Black and Gold Xs and Os: Offensive Gameplan vs. the Joker, Err...the Jets

The New York Jets are a good football team. Their offense is dangerous, but their defense is proven lethal. They are coordinated by their head coach, Rex Ryan. And they are a reflection of their head coach—confident, brash, and down right good...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Defensive Gameplan for the Jets

When the New York Jets enter the Louisiana Superdome on Sunday afternoon (3:15 on CBS), it will likely be the craziest atmosphere Mark Sanchez has ever played a football game in. Yet to be honest I don't see this effecting him too much...

Back to Buffalo: How the Saints Showed Sunday They Got "It"

I think most Saints fans would agree that Sunday's win in Buffalo was the most complete game the Saints have played so far in their fast 3-0 start. Some might complain that the offense looked a little out of sorts...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: New Orleans Saints Offensive Gameplan vs. Buffalo

On Sunday afternoon in Buffalo, New York, the New Orleans Saints offense will face a different defense than they've seen the past two weeks...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: The New Orleans Saints' Defensive Gameplan vs. Buffalo

When Dick Jauron fired Dick Schonert a week prior to the beginning of the season for having too many formations and too many plays, we all were thinking Buffalo was in trouble...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Coach-Style Review of Win Over Eagles

It's hard to critique an offensive performance in which the team scores five touchdowns and wins 48-22 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but I'm going to do it anyway...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Saints Offensive Gameplan Vs. Philadelphia

Today I will give you a little preview for when the Saints have the football on Sunday against the Eagles' defense. As I mentioned in yesterday's defensive preview, the Saints and Eagles stylistically are very similar football teams...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: Saints Defensive Gameplan Vs. Philadelphia

The New Orleans Saints head to Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday afternoon (noon CT on Fox) with a regular season win under their belt. Last season, the Saints were 1-0 headed into Washington and played horribly but still should have won the game...

Black & Gold Xs & Os: The Day-After Coaches Review of Saints-Lions Game

On Sunday, Drew Brees and company started their season out strong against a more resilient opponent than expected. But the stars were clearly Drew Brees and Mike Bell, although the Saints had many stars on the day on both sides of the ball...

Black & Gold Xs & Os | Saints Offensive Gameplan Vs. Detroit

Update: The West Hills Wolfpack Freshman Football team (I'm the Wide Receivers Coach) lost 28-0 yesterday, although they were only down 7-0 at the Half, and had about a 40 yard pass play near ...
